    Because that would be a government seizure of private property.

    People have the right to sell assets and raise cash. These are private certificates of stock. It's not currency manipulation or effecting anyone else's rights.

    If you don't want to lose the value of your purchases then exchanges are not for you. Put the cash in the mattress...

    The Gov't has very little control over the market, they only regulate the players.

    Free flow of capital and liquidity is paramount to the proper functioning of the financial markets. And confidence is key. Close the markets and we lose both. Awful idea.

    I'm preparing to move from sports to stocks to make an extra buck

    I'm eye raping the stock market everyday to see what is happening... figuring out what couple stocks to snatch up at a bargain price and make money as the market bounces back like it always does eventually

    all you fools betting on who knows what across the world... knowing nothing and throwing darts, donating to the books

    well, good luck

    It should be paused until the Idiot is out of office, so he can do no more damage. It's where Obama left it for him. The Obama market was tremendous. Hopefully the next D POTUS can come close to duplicating it.

    Close the market and you insure a trip back to the stone age. No one will invest in anything and then we are fukked for sure.

    the market being suspended for a long length of time would create a disaster
